I use bubble bath in warm water: cup of tea, Very Good Book, occasionally scented candles, warmed towel on getting out. :-* the only time I couldn't lay in a bath was when deeply depressed, it was so agitated I would leap in, wash quickly, leap out and sit ............ feeling guilty about all the hot water I had wasted :-\
I also love to put my feet/ankles in a bowl of soapy water ...........
-
Baths don't do it for me, though I love my shower. I have a favourite walk near here. You can walk for 3 miles and not see a soul. I love to look at the beautiful countryside, listen to the birdsong and feel a connection with nature. I feel this soothes my soul.
-
That's another one for me Ju Ju too :)
also another one is an Aromatheraphy massage and even better an Indian head massage (a tingly blissfulness)
-
Yes and I love reflexology.
-
I'm a trained reflexologist, but it was never my favourite treatment to give (and an awful lot to learn) but I never complained when I was offered one, you just lay back and relax, we were trained to give a foot massage with essential oil peppermint lotion before and after treatment.
Another bliss as you say :)
-
For me it's the sea. A walk along the shore lifts my spirits. Even just sitting listening to the waves is very soothing.
I could never move away from my coastline. I would fade away.

I'm with Honeybun, i love being beside water whether it is the sea, a river or a loch i can get lost in the sound and tranquility that it gives. :)
-
Yep - by water helps me unless it's rain ::) - DH and I spend lots of time by our garden ponds :-*
-
Being by the sea must be the ultimate stress reliever, failing that lying in bed listening to a downfall of rain.
I have to content myself with sea and rain CDs.

The sound of the sea from the deck of our static caravan.
My dog asleep on my feet
'Albatross' (Fleetwood Mac)
And one that I'm not expecting many people to agree with - solid, unrelenting, rain (NO wind!), especially on days when I can just sit and watch it falling. I find it strangely peaceful.
-
Me too Scampi, I have bedside drawer filled with a lot of CDs of rain, even a subliminal one :)
-
The sea does it for me, and i'll gladly admit to being slightly jealous of those who live right by it.
Reading in the bath
Rice pudding

CLKD - if you're a fan of violin concertos, do you like the Sibelius concerto? I just love it. I'm going to hear it played in a concert in a few weeks' time and can't wait. Rachmaninov 2nd symphony is the 2nd half - delicious!! :cupcake:

The memory of paddling across Milford Sound, New Zealand, in a kayak....absolute peace, sheer beauty, soft gentle rain and pride in myself as I have a fear of deep water and can barely swim. If I need to feel peace, I bring back that memory.
